Found my spot.

Sitting here at the Commons Circular room, I feel like I can write a 50-page essay if I had to and not be distracted. Something about being at school and not at a library, but being alone with a computer places a productive spirit in my body. Maybe it's the boys upstairs playing their video games and card games (magic or yugioh or something of the sort last time I walked by) and their faint but echoing voices giving a gentle ambiance to replace the dreadful void of silence you find in the library. Or maybe it's the fact that I'm on a comfy cushioned blue chair with my feet up on another chair and my laptops on my lap while being charged. Or maybe it's these huge windows with the sun shining through as I have a panoramic view of my school and I can occasionally stop and people watch and think about what they are thinking. Or maybe it's just a mindset who knows, but this place works!

I don't know what the difference is between this place and me at my house working, but I feel like I'm at a real university sitting here. Anyone at UC-Riverside can testify that sometimes UCR doesn't really feel like an authentic university where one receives prestigious lessons and participates in the American Dream of going to college, but here at this very spot in this very moment, I feel proud to be at UCR. I'm sure that's going to change as soon as I step outside and see the low, rocky, green hills and not so fancy looking buildings, but for now, I am a UC-Riverside student, proud of it, and enjoying every minute of it. Even looking at my campus from this spot makes everything look more legitimate.

On another note, Luke18 Project is coming together on our campus and we activated our budget a couple hours ago! Woohoo praise the Lord. Here comes more meetings, but as long as we have more prayer meetings than executive meetings, my heart is content.

Proverbs 2:1-5
1 My son, if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
2 making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
3 yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice for understanding,
4 if you seek it like silver
and search for it as for hidden treasures,
5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD
and find the knowledge of God.

I want to understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. Here I go looking for treasures of knowledge and storing up His commandments. Listening intently and closely as if I was trying to intensely figure out a treasure map. He gives us step by step directions, all we have to do is find it and obey it. I love God, don't you?
